At precisely 9:00 pm on Saturday, January 5th, 2008 my plane touched down in New York City marking the start of my NYC adventure.
Yesterday was a mixed day of emotions. There were emotional highs about the adventure that lays ahead. There were also trying lows. I wrote this a short moment after waving goodbye at the airport and disappearing out of view of loved ones.
I explored the city today, it was really my first time discovering it. It was a day marked with firsts.
My first day waking up in my new city. First time seeing the Empire State Building. First run in Central Park. First time feeling the wave of miss that occurs when you’re far away from friends and family.
Here’s a photo of my building.
Overwhelming thought of the day: this is going to be an emotionally intense year (and one hell of a city to live in).
If you’re in the city let’s grab a drink.
Fraser, welcome to NYC. Lets grab breakfast or a drink in the coming weeks!
Welkommen! How long are you staying?
Welcome. I stumbled upon your blog after Nate's twitter… and I'm always down for drinks in my beloved city
hey rafi, when are we grabbing a beer? I want to tap into the live music scene and I figure you're as good as anyone to help make introductions. I'm here for a while. a year? two? three? we'll see how this adventure plays out.
@Darren , Tim: definitely. I'll send you guys emails and we can figure something out.
Welcome to America!
Welcome to NYC.
Hey Frazer, I wish you all the best on the coming job and my thoughts are with you. I am surprised that you left Trivaris. What prompted this move, especially so far away. If you want, I do have a skype account that we can link to. Just tell me the time and day. I have NOT done any stairs since I left Pictorvision. That too was a sad day. Let me know when you come back to the big city here…… keep in touch.
